You knew I had to do it!
Look, this topic has hit 30 posts!
Sorry folks, I'm just that big of a geek.
Back to the topic at hand, I'm looking at those 245/50-14s for the Chickenhawk. I really want some meat on the ground when I drop in that VG-35 I have on the floor.

Hey Dimlight. If you are droping that V 6 engine in there,you need the power ,those 245-50-14 (and also 265-50-14 available) are made by T/A BF goodrich,(I think t/a is made by BF,or it could be Goodyear,I am kind of confused,but positive it is T/A)... anyways,those tires on a 14X10,9 or 8 will work,not just look business ,but mean it,and are streetable,racing tires can not handle daily driving,would melt,this ones work. With some wheel/fender well work,you can drop the car in those tires. I used to have a VW bus(68) with a porsche 6 cyl engine,and I put those tires,245/50/14 on 14X8 wheels,and it flew off,unfortunately as I was to add more rubber to the rear,265/50/14 on 14X10,my van got stolen,my fault,I never installed any alarms nor gas cut of valve nor any security devices. I do not want to think about that story,it still makes me mad!!!!
On the front of the 1200 I do not think the 14's would fit,but 215-50-13 (widest 13 available now for street use) on 13X8 would work fine and hold ground,also keeping the car low. The rear 245-50-14 's will work as train tracks.
Have fun!

I know that we here in NZ can get 235/13" in a 45 profile. They're made for the big barges known as Holdens and Falcons!

Jaime, yes it is BF Goodrich that makes the 245 and 265/50-14 tires. They are the only ones I have found making a street tire in a big enough size. I have already flared the fenders (with the always capable help of tensandtwenties) but the 200sx axle in the car already fills them up with the 195/60-14s. What I had planned to do is widen two of the wheels I have to the inside, basically make a 14x8 front wheel drive offset pair.
Of course, if we go with the more radical idea of using a Maxima transaxle and making the car mid engine, all bets are off as to wheels and tires.

Hey dimlight,no problemo with the wider axles,you are on track,more backspacing and the wheels will be in place. Mid engine ...you are making me daydream....with guys like you around,datsuns will live forever. Cool . I am planing to make myself the traction bars as in the racing suspension article in the club. It should work fine,it should stop any posibility of rear steering(when one rear tire moves up and the other down) and also axle warp.
I have also some words for Will,hey will,buddy,you are the man,tell me ,you say there is 235-50-13 tires in the land of NZ,o man,that is good news,how can I get in touch with a tire place,manufacturer,or else. Do you know how much they cost? I want to buy !help me out ,thanks
Cheers

jaimecidpedro,

The guy that had the dual Weber DGV's had the manifold custom made. I have not ever seen a manifold like that made by any company so I wouldn't bet on going for the conversion. If I were you I would save up for a dual Weber DCOE or Dellorto DHLA setup. I just put these on my car today and they are WAY better than the SU's and Weber DGV. For the sway bar on the rear, you have to connect it to the rear end using clamps that are just like exhaust clamps, it connects there using the sway bar bushings and then line it up with the end links and frame and drill the hole in the frame wherever it evens the sway bar out and connect it using whatever brackets came in the kit. I'd show you a picture if I had one of my car's rear sway bar, but I don't have a digital camera. Let me know if you have any other questions afracer78@aol.com

Hey guacamolis , I was checking your car,and the wheels, it seems those are covers,over the wheels,maybee I am wrong.
The white covers,if not are wheels, but if covers,what wheels do you have underneath? Just curious.
If you want to get rid of your tires,let me know.
Jaime

Hey Jamie, you heard from stirlingmac didn't you? He seems to be the contact (sorry i this is stating the obvious just catching up on some missed posts

Hy Will,ya ,I got the message from Stirlingmac,Guacamolis is,probably,going to sell his used tires,so if posible,I would like to get the used ones,set the proper wheel size for them,(I have 13X8,perhaps the 235's will be better off in a 13X9 or 13X10.) I will get the tires from Stirlingmac too,but that might take longer,defenately I want the new ones. I have (co ownership with my Brothe) a ute,so I am planing to get tires for both.My budget is not that great,so guacamobiles tires are good too.
Cheers
JAime

Jaime,

What type of ute do you have? Is it a standard Datsun 1/4-ton pickup truck, or is it a 1200/B110-type ute?
